If Fox is saying this is the worst natural disaster ever, they have 
little knowledge of history and have failed to google for easily 
available info from USGS and other objective sources.

At 8.9 or 9.0, it's not the worse earthquake the earth has suffered in 
Richter scale measurement.

At 120,000, or even at 150,000, doesn't make the top 10 in earthquake 
deaths.

Are you saying Alaska is non-Christian?  Alaska was hit by a 9.1 
earthquake in 1957, and a 9.2 in 1964.

You have convinced me to avoid Fox news.
